Wadjet Eye Games have announced their next game, the time-travelling adventure Old Skies, is now set for launch on April 23rd. It will have full Native Linux support.

More about it: "Fia Quinn is a time traveler, accompanying clients of the ChronoZen Time Travel Agency on jumps to other eras to make sure they don't rewrite important aspects of history. Some of these people are merely curious. Others have unresolved business. As long as they can pay for the trip, their motivations don't matter to Fia... until they do."

There's also a new trailer:

Some info from behind the scenes:

Old Skies' designer, Dave Gilbert, has been releasing story-driven adventure games for almost two decades through his tiny independent studio, Wadjet Eye Games. Nearly all of his games have been set in a supernatural version of his beloved hometown of New York City.

Although he has collaborated with other indie developers more recently, Old Skies is Dave's first personal project since IGF-nominee Unavowed in 2018. He's been working on Old Skies for almost six years, after first playing with the time travel concept in a game jam that he entered using a pseudonym.

Old Skies ups the ante for Wadjet Eye's output with high-res 1920x1080 graphics hand-drawn by artist Ben Chandler, an original musical score by composer Thomas Regin, and professional voice acting from Wadjet Eye's largest cast to date. Though Old Skies can be enjoyed by anyone, plenty of references and Easter eggs are waiting for those familiar with Unavowed and the Blackwell mysteries.

Old Skies | Release Date: 23rd April 2025

I'm really looking forward to this. I hope the text won't be too small on the Deck.

Love Wadjet Eye Games! Also, is having the surname Gilbert a sign of good point & click adventures? :D

Too Americana for me in my current mood, I'm afraid. Just not really feeling like being nostalgic for the Twin Towers.

Yeah, USian navel-gazing is just...really tiring. Or "cringe", as the kids say.
